About Me

"Because of its limited repertoire and its reputation for being an 'elite' and not a mainstream instrument, I have been concerned that the harp might become an antique or 'period' instrument - somewhat like the basset horn or viola da gamba." -Susan Allen, harpist
Don't worry, I've got that under control!!
People like to spell my name "Brandy Younger"•When you learn, teach. When you get, give.

•Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

•If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

•Talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.
